Brosnan Attacks Obama Over Whales Promise
Whaling in the Faroe Islands
Pierce Brosnan is taking aim at U.S. leader PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA in a new public service announcement for the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
In the PSA, the former 007 reminds Obama of promises he made about protecting sea-life when he was a presidential candidate.
Brosnan says, “As a candidate, you promised to end illegal whaling, and we applauded your leadership, but recent reports reveal your administration supports an international proposal, which gives Japan, Iceland and Norway the license to kill whales.”

Why are their heads cut open ?
Because that’s the way to kill them.. by cutting the mean blood vein.. it’s one of the worlds fastest killing methods (2-3 sec) and least painful.. after the whale is brought to land, the stomach is cut open to release pressure.. (while the whale is death)
By the way people that picture is not taken on the Faroe Islands, and the killing of whales looks awful only do to the volume of the blood. you need to experience it with your own eyes to see the right picture.. it takes normally 5 minutes to slaughter about 60 whales.
and all eatable is eaten.
Some of you, absolutely not all please stop pretending being expert in what is right/wrong without experience it first with your own glasses and having the right facts.

Good question, Jason. I have no idea.
This is criminal. I’m sure there are dolphins with an intellect that surpasses some humans, yet we’d never consider hunting those people.
they have thier heads open because that is how they are killed a cut through the spinal cord with a knife.I wonder if Pierce Brosnan has any idea how stupid he sounds surely a license makes the act legal?
why ARENT they cut open?

You sound like you are fine with this Blaze.
this is a complete crime against life it self, we´re human beings we´re supposed to be racional individuals look at this picture and then look at a hollocaust one its basically the same thing we DO NOT have the right to judge the value of life (wether its from a dog , a cat , a human being or a whale) cus we do not valueours in the firs place.
This people need to be encarcelated!!
This is sad, but its no different then us killing cows. Sure we breed them to millions so they dont go extinct. I figure as long as the whole animal is used, not just the fins but the whole animal, and they hunt with limitation as not to make these creatures extinct then there should be no problems.
Blaze raises a good point though. Technically speaking, a license would make it legal to kill them, and Obama only promised to end “illegal” whaling. Not necessarily legal whaling.
Oh! look at all that meat! My mouth is watering.
Well just like everything else in Obama’s campaign here is yet another lie. He promised to end both wars. He promised to end rendition. He promised to restore habius corpus and posse comitatus. He promised not to make backroom deals with lobbyist. He promised to allow the people adequate time to read a bill. He promised a lot but to me it seems like he has adopted all of the failed policies of the Bush Administration
Those countries don’t really need the US permission to hunt whales, in atleast two of them it’s an older tradition than the US themselves. Obama has probably done everything he can do to keep his campaign promise, it’s just that he wasn’t elected president of the whole world
The whole animal isn’t used and that is part of the issue. Another issue is that at least with Japan, they claim it is for research purposes that they are hunting whales, but in reality they are hunting them for market and again they do not use the entire animal. The only difference between what Japan is doing with the whales and what others to with sharks for their fins is that the Japanese kill the whales in the beginning instead of hacking off parts and dumping them back into the ocean alive. The big issue is that they are being hunted into extinction. If it was possible to raise them like other live stock, it might not make headlines, but since that is impossible and they are being hunted into extinction, it’s a big issue.
KILLING WHALES IS COMPLETELTY DIFFERENT THAN KILLING COWS. TO ME, DOMESTIC VERUS WILD MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THEM. A WILD, NATIVE SPECIES DESERVES ALL THE CONSIDERATION, RESPECT, AND COMMITMENT TO PRESERVATION. HUMAN ACTIVITY HAS COMPROMISED THE LONG-TERM SURVIVAL OF ALL LARGE OCEAN MAMMALS DUE TO PCB’s, MURCURY, NAVY SONAR, LONG-NET FISHING. COWS ARE PRODUCT OF HUMAN BREEDING, DOMESTICATED TO BE AS STUPID AS A FENCE POST.
Most whale and dolphin meat nowadays has very toxic levels of mercury in it since they are at the top of the food chain. The Japanese people don’t eat this meat willingly, it gets mislabeled in their fish markets, and inevitably causes defects, whether it’s changes in hormone levels or physical birth defects. The real reason the Japanese slaughter these animals is for “pest control”, claiming that whales and dolphins are responsible for massive declines in fish populations. So the real reason why whaling and dolphin killing is so controversial is that these creatures are not being killed for meat at all, they are being slaughtered because the Japanese think of them as the sea equivalent of locusts.
Obama has done nothing but lie and perpetuate war on the innocent. His word means nothing –he has no credibility and no integrity.
Cows are smarter than republicans and the democrats and they deserve protection under the law. Humans have been bred to be dumb, sick, lazy, and to blindly follow liars and thieves. Stop killing these majestic creatures and ingest your own diseased carcasses.
